Have you tried another USB port.Try not using a USB hub and plug it into a different port on your PC. Also try temporarily disabling your virus and anti-spyware program. My virus program Antivir always blocks my WD software. There may have been an update that now blocks it. Check all your cables and plugs on the WD drive and if still not working try starting your pc in safe mode and see if the WD drive is recognized. Hope this was some help, Thanks for using FixYa

Why can't I access any of the files on my WD Elements external hard drive?

If you have not reinstalled a new OS the drive should be seen after starting your unit.

Disconnect the USB drive and reboot your unit.

After the unit comes up, plug in the drive.

If the drive is new to the system, it will locate and load drivers.

Afterwards it should give the opium to view files.
It should also be seen in your device manager, under disk drive.

You should be able to go to prosperity's and see sharing opium's ect. ( Security ) Try to make your changes here

TRYING TO LOAD oFFICE PROFESSIONAL 2007 AND KEEP GETTING ERROR MESSAGE Error 1311. source file not found:E\SKU0 11.CAB. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it What should I do?

I stil do not have enough information HP model number for the windows (OP) operating system. Your error sound like something missing or curept on thr disk. Is you cd drive E:\   ?   Or is you hard drive E:\  ? Does your cd say that it is compatable with windows 2,000 ?  If not either reload the Xp or obtain the correct version of Office pro.
Do you see any scratches or smudges on the face of the CD? Microsoft can replace these CDs if damaged. Cal them if true.

I cannot access western digital 1000 gb

Here is a tedious solution that works. Use MioNet and move all the files you want to keep to another drive or another computer, then delete everything from the MyBookWorld. Remove MioNet from all computers. Next access the drive's built in Shared Storage Manager with a web browser. Check the pdf manual on the install disk to find out how. Create a new shared folder and then move everything you want on the drive into the new folder WITHOUT using MioNet. Map the shared folder as a network drive for easy access. Never, ever, EVER use MioNet again and all should be good. The drive works, the MioNet software does not.
